Roger Federer Wins 2010 Australian Open,16th Grand Slam Title

The champ, Roger Federer as Andy Murray playing second fiddle to him once again.

As expected, Roger Federer had clinched his fourth Australian Open title of his career this year and his never-ending Grand Slam record goes on, currently stands at 16 titles in total. His opponent was none other than Andy Murray of UK,Great Britain. The match ended 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (11).


It was a joy for Roger Federer who won his first Grand Slam as a father to twin daughters,second to do so after Andre Agassi in 2003. And agony for Murray as he was riding the hopes of a British public, most of whom have only read about the last British man to win a singles title in a Grand Slam - Fred Perry in 1936.

Murray celebrating on a point but Federer had the last laugh

It was quite a straight forward match for Roger as he raced to 2 sets up in a relaxed fashion, only to struggle a little in the 3rd set. Murray broke Federer's serve as early as in the 3rd game of the set.


Federer rallied from 5-2 down in the third to force the tiebreaker and, after saving three set points, missed his first chance to finish it off when his forehand just missed the line.


Federer won the lengthy third-set tiebreaker on his third match point after fending off five set points for Murray. He clinched the match in 2 hours, 41 minutes when Murray netted a backhand.

Roger Federer, The Swiss Maestro and No.1 Tennis Player

It was Federer's 22nd Grand Slam final, where he's won a record 16. Federer has appeared in 18 of the past 19 Grand Slam finals only to lose to Rafael Nadal (5 times) and Juan Martin Del Potro in those occasions. What a staggering record !!


p/s- After watching some of Federer's matches in the past 2 weeks, I noticed one thing that made him so special, his Nike apparels !! if you compare the colour of his sports tee and the tennis court background, you can see that both are similar. Going stealth and confusing his opponents perhaps? Great colour choice by him. Well done !!

Roger Federer - Greatest Tennis Player Of All Time!

Roger Federer won a record 15th Grand Slam after beating sixth seed Andy Roddick in an epic fifth set 5-7 7-6 7-6 3-6 16-14 in the Wimbledon men's final. Perhaps one of the longest games in history with gametime over 4 hours. Awesome !!

Wah !! that was a stagerring record and overtaken Pete Sampras's GrandSlam title record and it seems that more is on the way. Didn't get to watch the first 4 set, was at <KLIA> sending off my cousin who is flying back to London and so happen he's living 10mins driving distance from Wimbledon..WOW !!

Came and saw the 5th set instead..no one broke each other. Both are waiting for the chance for their opponents to make errors. Too bad, both are equally calm and consistently holding serve like its made of gold..Of course la, if once u got a break, the title is all yours !!

The match real tensed and anxious one. Thought Roddick could have won it cos his tennis was wicked !! Bazooka-like first serve and inch-perfect cross-court forehands and not to mention those wicked volleys at the net.

But Federer was not too bad either. Overpowered Roddick with his aces and winners by 25% more..that was CRAZY !! It all boils down to who gonna lose their concentration first and it seems that Roddick, who are moving around uncomfortably and Federer took the gamble.

True enough Roddick made 2 critical errors when the match was deuce(d) at the point where Federer was leading the set 15-14 games. That has to be said Roddick was too unlucky and if the match would had progressed further, Federer might even lose it. can you imagine, both are like machine !! Playing for 4 hours plus and a winner was still haven decided !!

Nonehtheless, it was the spirit of a champion. Playing his tennis calm and elegantly, Roger Federer, now officially the King of Tennis and reclaimed his No.1 spot in the rankings !! =)

Federer advances to 4th Round

Yikes, I missed most of the match where our great hero, ROGER FEDERER was playing against German's PHILIPP KOHLSCHREIBER in Round 3 of Wimbledon 2009.Luckily, I was real fortunate to get to watch the winning set whereby Federer was leading 3-1 live on satellite TV.



The Federer's FORE HAND !!


And many many thanks to Eurosport's text commentary of the match, I was able to track down the progress of the whole match. the 1st 2 sets, as usual was a breeze for FeDex and well, maybe a lapse in concentration has done some damage whereby he loses the following set.

Maybe that was a wake-up call for him and despite that slight glitch, Federer was still able to keep his cool and eventually wrapped up the match. The result was 6-3, 6-2, 6-7, 6-1 in the span of 2hours 31mins..Fantastic !!

Guess who's his next opponent ?? Yeah..the tall, big serving guy from Sweden, Robin Soderling whom was beaten by Roger last month in French Open. Whats your prediction ?? FEDERER FTW !! =)

Stay tune for more Federer's greatness !!

Its Another Tennis Grand Slam - Wimbledon 2009 !!

Yah, I think most of you people who is reading this might not even know how awesome is this game by the name of TENNIS !! Its like a game of badminton albeit it could be played on different surfaces (grass, clay and hardcourt) replacing the shuttlecocks with the mean green and hairy tennis balls =P Maybe I should explain more bout the surfaces and rules in my future articles for further understanding of the game.

This GrandSlam gonna be Federer's for the taking unless he wants it to slip away but I really doubt that, lol !! Nadal had withdrawn, both Murray and Djokovic are not being consistent from their last outings and throughout the whole year.

Ah, the Swiss maestro, fresh from being the crowned all 4 GrandSlam champ of all-time (after 14 tries) and French Open title in the bag, Federer gonna be once again the man to beat on his favourite court, THE GRASS.

Entering the 3rd day of this tournament, I had watched 2 matches that he played live on TV of course..1st match(220609)was against Lu Yen Hsun of Chinese Taipei/Taiwan in the 1st Round or Round of 128. The first set was abit shaky for Federer, perhaps he's not getting used to playing on grass yet as he skipped Halle after winning his maiden French Open title.

As usual "Fedex", as what he was well known for quickly got back to his vintage self by planting those well placed fore-hands to the baseline and not to mention his ever venomous first serve. Battled to 7-5 and eventually won the first set, the following as we expected was a stroll for him winning 6-3 and 6-2. Awesome !! Entertaining !!

Just watched the recent concluded 2nd match, Round of 64 (240609) of Federer playing against Garcia-Lopez of Spain. Federer was totally on destructive form and seems very "godly". Pushing his opponent to his limits effortless and quickly wrapped up the match in 1 hour 29 mins,6-2, 6-2, 6-4..Crazy !! It was a pure exhibition stuff only one person can do that, FEDERER is his name !! =)

Well, there are some bad news too, Wimbledon's hot chick darling, Maria Sharapova was knocked out from the tournament by Gisela Dulko..was feeling a lil sad cos I really thought she can progress further *sigh* Most probably the biggest casualty till now =(

Stay tune for more Wimbledon actions !!
